I hear kirby commentating on the Water Polo on eurosport justnow, he seems better at it - i don't think he is a motorsport commentator by trade, which begs the question - why is he covering motorsport? Gareth Rees would do for me!

Yes Carlton was better doing the water polo, although his co-commentator was helping him massively.

I thought Adam finished 8th? The Eurosport website seems to think so!

Thanks, Kidzer! The race is supposed to be shown on Eurosport2 at 10:45, for those with access to it, but they're ducking and diving with the schedules this weekend, so no guarantees.

I did wonder, it didn't say "Live GP2 Racing" so I assumed it was a repeat of yesterday's race, ill go watch it now though!

According to Carlton, Ryan stalled on the grid!

kirby is an idiot. he said that ryan sharp wasnt here this weekend. 1 minutes later the race had started and he he said ryan sharp was one of the stallers....he then goes on to comentate on the first 2 or 3 laps calling pantano as carroll and vice versa....despite that bright yellow helmet clearly indicating it was pantano.....
then we had the rest of the race filled with his usual drivel. as for the actual race it was rubbish. ART clearly have the best car by far despite the fact they couldnt overtake pla who would have won the race again but he stopped. arden looked pretty ordinary. it was a proper hungarian race. carroll made a twit of himself at the start and proceeded to be very slow throughout the race. even alverez was quicker. sickening. |

Why does ART have Marlboro on their cars when supposedly the Euro tobacco sponsorship thing went into effect today?

A bit of a dull race compared to yesterday, and I still get wound up by the reverse top 8 - if Pla hadn't had a mechanical failure, he'd have taken his third win in succession, all earned thanks to being rather mediocre in race 1.
And why are we still seeing so many cars stalling/failing to get away race after race? Surely GP2 must concede this is a car issue which has to be sorted? I can't believe it's just a case of drivers failing to get to grips with the sensitive clutch. Kirby was dire as usual - when Garcia went straight on across the gravel trap and nosed the tyre-barrier, with what looked like a sticking throttle, his conclusion was that Garcia had a "toe-in problem" (???) |

The stalling is not a car issue - it is a driver and team issue.
The same teams and drivers are always the ones who have problems. |

I agree with you - but the fact still remains it's the same drivers who're doing it regularly

Slightly off topic, but it's the reason why the Marlboro Masters was held in June. The thing is, I understood the directive came into force at midnight last night, but it seemed an odd date, so perhaps not.

Even more bizarrely, Gauloises is sponsoring a MotoGP race within the EU later this month.
